The billion from 15 large donors, and multiple SuperPacs; lost to the under a billion from hundreds of thousands of small donors, and one SuperPac whose contributors were voluntarily released. That's the good news on the Citizen's United front.
Harry Reid has already agreed to filibuster reform this time. He said he was wrong 2 years ago not to do it. Boeher got rid of his craziest extremists, and now has some who are more willing to compromise. The President knows the GOP won't deal and won't give a shiat. He'll make the offer, and if they refuse, he'll do without them. |
Extreme partisans such as yourself are delusional to believe this nonsense. 6 billion dollars was just spent to more or less divide the country further and more decisively. Winning this election doesn't mean that Democrats are on the right path. More than anything it just means that they narrowly got more votes chiefly because they were able to goad the GOP into fighting over bullshit like abortion. Because they ran a better campaign doesnt mean they are correct or that things are going to get better. The politicians arent the problem, the problem is the people who they have to appeal to in order to get votes. The victory lap taken this morning is typical myopic thinking. Obama and company arent a good choice, they are one of the worst groups of politicans in our country's history. Problem is that there are only 2 choices and the other one is too stupid to realize you cant win by telling the truth until it was too late to make up the difference.
